Hitachi Maxco UHMW-PE Sprockets offer several advantages over other sprocket material including outstanding wear characteristics (ASTM G65) and chemical stability.

UHMW Sprockets are available for use as drive or idler sprockets and for stub shaft service as well. Every HMAX 720 Style Sprocket is configured with the hunting tooth pattern also known as "double-life" tooth profile. UHMW Sprockets are ideal for use with Cast Nylon Stub Shafts (shown at right) a winning combination of high strength nylon with the proven durability of UHMW for all idler shaft requirements.

Hitachi Maxco 720 UHMW Sprockets have typical bore range of 1-15/16" to 4-15/16". Other sizes are available.

78 series UHMW / UHMW Combo Drive and Driven sprockets with replaceable tooth segments offers a low cost, easy to maintain alternative to cast or metallic sprocket styles.
